Saving seems like an insurmountable obstacle to you? Maybe your goals are too high. In terms of savings, it is good to find your rhythm and to go gradually: the important thing is not so much the amount set aside, but the fact of sticking to paying even a small amount on a regular basis.

To save without thinking about it, there are several tips. One of them, the rounding technique, consists of rounding the amount of all your purchases to the euro above.
